Revert damage from multiple sclerosis

• April 27, 2024

Researchers from the universities of Cambridge , England and Scotland, discovered that by activating stem cells of the brain you can regenerate the myelin, the sheath that protects the extensions of the neurons, called axons, responsible for transmitting nerve impulses.

And is that the multiple sclerosis occurs when the loss of the sheath of myelin, which acts as an insulating layer, leads to damage in the axons, which in turn causes alterations in the sending of messages from the brain to other parts of the body.

According to the information, published in the magazine Nature Neuroscience, this finding may help in the development of drugs that stimulate myelin to self-repair in patients suffering from the disease:

"This discovery is very exciting, because it could potentially pave the way to find drugs that help repair the damage caused to the important coatings that protect neurons in the brain," the researchers said.

Sclerosis in Mexico

According to the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), the multiple sclerosis is a autoimmune disease which mainly affects the brain and the central nervous system (spinal cord)

This has become one of the main causes of disability in young people, occurring in up to 80% of cases in adolescents over 14 years of age.

The risk of suffering multiple sclerosis depends largely on the conjugation of different factors such as genetics, living in an area where the incidence of the disease is greater and exposure to an environmental factor before reaching age 15, which may alter the functioning of the immune system (defenses), which causes it to destroy the nerve cells and thereby generate certain motor deficiencies .

The main clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis are: ocular condition called optic neuritis (reduction of visual acuity), which if not treated in time can cause total blindness, muscular atrophy , as well as the gradual loss of sensitivity by separation of nerve endings.
